FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention relates to novel compounds which are inhibitors of acyl coenzymeA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT-1), to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, to processes for their preparation, and to their use in therapy for the prevention or treatment of diseases related to DGAT-1 dysfunction or where modulation of DGAT-1 activity may have therapeutic benefit including but not limited to obesity, obesity related disorders, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, chylomicronemia, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, hepatitis C virus infection and acne or other skin disorders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Obesity is a medical condition that is reaching epidemic proportions among humans in a number of countries throughout the world. It is a condition that is also associated with or induces other diseases or conditions that disrupt life activities and lifestyles. Obesity is recognized as a serious risk factor for other diseases and conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and arteriosclerosis. It is also known that increased body weight due to obesity can place a burden on joints, such as knee joints, causing arthritis, pain, and stiffness.

Because overeating and obesity have become such a problem in the general population, many individuals are now interested in losing weight, reducing weight, and maintaining a healthy body weight and desirable lifestyle. One approach to treating obesity is to reduce food intake and/or hyperlipidemia. It has been suggested that molecules which are developed to prevent the accumulation of triglyceride would not only reduce obesity but also have the additional beneficial effect of reducing insulin resistance, a primary factor contributing to the development of diabetes.

Acyl coenzymeA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT-1) is one of two known DGAT enzymes that catalyze the final step in mammalian triglyceride synthesis. DGAT-1 is an enzyme that is implicated in the development of both diabetes and insulin resistance. Studies of DGAT-1 deficient mice show that DGAT-1 deficiency protects against insulin resistance and obesity, see Chen, H. C. et al., J Clin Invest., 109(8), 1049-1055 (2002). Therefore, inhibitors of DGAT-1 should be useful for the treatment of metabolic disorders, e.g. obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance syndrome (or metabolic syndrome) and other associated or related diseases and conditions.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the compound of the present invention may also be utilized in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Typically, but not absolutely, the salts of the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Salts encompassed within the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to non-toxic salts of the compounds of this invention. Salts of the disclosed compounds containing a basic amine or other basic functional group may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, including treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, sulfonic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid or the like. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4-dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutrates, citrates, lactates, γ-hydroxybutyrates, glycolates, tartrates mandelates, and sulfonates, such as xylenesulfonates, methanesulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-1-sulfonates and naphthalene-2-sulfonates.

Salts of the disclosed compounds containing a carboxylic acid or other acidic functional group can be prepared by reacting with a suitable base. Such a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be made with a base which affords a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, which includes alkali metal salts (especially sodium and potassium), alkaline earth metal salts (especially calcium and magnesium), aluminum salts and ammonium salts, as well as salts made from physiologically acceptable organic bases such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, morpholine, pyridine, piperidine, picoline, dicyclohexylamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, 2-hydroxyethylamine, bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, tri-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, procaine, dibenzylpiperidine, dehydroabietylamine, N,N′-bisdehydroabietylamine, glucamine, N-methylglucamine, collidine, choline, quinine, quinoline, and basic amino acid such as lysine and arginine.

Other salts, which are not pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of compounds of this invention and these should be considered to form a further aspect of the invention. These salts, such as oxalic or trifluoroacetate, while not in themselves pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of salts useful as intermediates in obtaining the compounds of the invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

As used herein, the term “a compound of Formula (I)” or “the compound of Formula (I)” refers to one or more compounds according to Formula (I). The compound of Formula (I) may exist in solid or liquid form. In the solid state, it may exist in crystalline or noncrystalline form, or as a mixture thereof. The skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically acceptable solvates may be formed for crystalline or noncrystalline compounds. In crystalline solvates, solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve non-aqueous solvents such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, or ethyl acetate, or they may involve water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice. Solvates wherein water is the solvent incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as “hydrates.” Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates.

The skilled artisan will further appreciate that certain compounds of the invention that exist in crystalline form, including the various solvates thereof, may exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline structures). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” The invention includes all such polymorphs. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. The skilled artisan will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction conditions or reagents, used in making the compound. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvent may result in polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.

The compound of Formula (I) or a salt thereof may exist in stereoisomeric forms (e.g., it contains one or more asymmetric carbon atoms). The individual stereoisomers (enantiomers and diastereomers) and mixtures of these are included within the scope of the present invention. Likewise, it is understood that a compound or salt of Formula (I) may exist in tautomeric forms other than that shown in the formula and these are also included within the scope of the present invention. It is to be understood that the present invention includes all combinations and subsets of the particular groups defined hereinabove. The scope of the present invention includes mixtures of stereoisomers as well as purified enantiomers or enantiomerically/diastereomerically enriched mixtures. It is to be understood that the present invention includes all combinations and subsets of the particular groups defined hereinabove.

The subject invention also includes isotopically-labelled compounds, which are identical to those recited in formula (I) and following, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulphur, fluorine, iodine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 17O, 18O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, 123I and 125I.

Compounds of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said compounds that contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the present invention. Isotopically-labelled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H, 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. 11C and 18F isotopes are particularly useful in PET (positron emission tomography), and 125I isotopes are particularly useful in SPECT (single photon emission computerized tomography), all useful in brain imaging. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labelled compounds of formula I and following of this invention can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples below, by substituting a readily available isotopically labelled reagent for a non-isotopically labelled reagent.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition (also referred to as pharmaceutical formulation) comprising a compound of Formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof and one or more excipients (also referred to as carriers and/or diluents in the pharmaceutical arts). The excipients are acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof (i.e., the patient).

In accordance with another aspect of the invention there is provided a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising mixing (or admixing) a compound of Formula I or salt thereof with at least one excipient.

Pharmaceutical compositions may be in unit dose form containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Such a unit may contain a therapeutically effective dose of the compound of Formula I or salt thereof or a fraction of a therapeutically effective dose such that multiple unit dosage forms might be administered at a given time to achieve the desired therapeutically effective dose. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose or sub-dose, as herein above recited, or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Furthermore, such pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared by any of the methods well-known in the pharmacy art.

Pharmaceutical compositions may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example, by oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual, or transdermal), vaginal, or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, or intradermal) routes. Such compositions may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example, by bringing into association the active ingredient with the excipient(s).

When adapted for oral administration, pharmaceutical compositions may be in discrete units such as tablets or capsules; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions. The compound or salt thereof of the invention or the pharmaceutical composition of the invention may also be incorporated into a candy, a wafer, and/or tongue tape formulation for administration as a “quick-dissolve” medicine.

For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral, non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Powders or granules are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavoring, preservative, dispersing, and coloring agents can also be present.

Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin or non-gelatinous sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicine when the capsule is ingested.

Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents, and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars, such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.

Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant, and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, and aliginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt, and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin, or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage, or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc, or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compound or salt of the present invention can also be combined with a free-flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar, or polymeric material, and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different dosages.

Oral fluids such as solutions, syrups, and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of active ingredient. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound or salt thereof of the invention in a suitably flavoured aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound or salt of the invention in a non-toxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers, such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additives such as peppermint oil, natural sweeteners, saccharin, or other artificial sweeteners, and the like, can also be added.

Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as, for example, by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax, or the like.

In the present invention, tablets and capsules are preferred for delivery of the pharmaceutical composition.

As used herein, the term “treatment” includes prophylaxis and refers to alleviating the specified condition, eliminating or reducing one or more symptoms of the condition, slowing or eliminating the progression of the condition, and preventing or delaying the reoccurrence of the condition in a previously afflicted or diagnosed patient or subject. Prophylaxis (or prevention or delay of disease onset) is typically accomplished by administering a drug in the same or similar manner as one would to a patient with the developed disease or condition.

The present invention provides a method of treatment in a mammal, especially a human, suffering from obesity, diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety, drug addiction, substance addiction, or a combination thereof. Such treatment comprises the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or salt thereof to said mammal, particularly a human. Treatment can also comprise the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition containing a compound of Formula I or salt thereof to said mammal, particularly a human.

As used herein, the term “effective amount” means that amount of a drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal, or human that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” means any amount which, as compared to a corresponding subject who has not received such amount, results in improved treatment, healing, prevention, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate of advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function. For use in therapy, therapeutically effective amounts of a compound of Formula I, as well as salts thereof, may be administered as the raw chemical. Additionally, the active ingredient may be presented as a pharmaceutical composition.

While it is possible that, for use in therapy, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula I or salt thereof may be administered as the raw chemical, it is typically presented as the active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition or formulation.

The precise therapeutically effective amount of a compound or salt thereof of the invention will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the age and weight of the subject (patient) being treated, the precise disorder requiring treatment and its severity, the nature of the pharmaceutical formulation/composition, and route of administration, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attending physician or veterinarian. Typically, a compound of Formula I or salt thereof will be given for the treatment in the range of about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg body weight of recipient (patient, mammal) per day and more usually in the range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day. Acceptable daily dosages may be from about 1 to about 1000 mg/day, and preferably from about 1 to about 100 mg/day. This amount may be given in a single dose per day or in a number (such as two, three, four, five, or more) of sub-doses per day such that the total daily dose is the same. An effective amount of a salt thereof may be determined as a proportion of the effective amount of the compound of Formula I per se. Similar dosages should be appropriate for treatment (including prophylaxis) of the other conditions referred herein for treatment. In general, determination of appropriate dosing can be readily arrived at by one skilled in medicine or the pharmacy art.

Additionally, the present invention comprises a compound of Formula I or salt thereof or a pharmaceutical composition thereof with at least one other anti-obesity drug and/or at least one anti-diabetes drug. Such anti-obesity drugs can include, for example, Metformin (or glucophage), CB1 receptor antagonists, GLP-1 agonists, opioid antagonists, and neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors. When a compound of the invention is employed in combination with another anti-obesity drug or anti-diabetes drug, it is to be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the dose of each compound or drug of the combination may differ from that when the drug or compound is used alone. Appropriate doses will be readily appreciated and determined by those skilled in the art. The appropriate dose of the compound of Formula I or salt thereof and the other therapeutically active agent(s) and the relative timings of administration will be selected in order to achieve the desired combined therapeutic effect, and are with the expertise and discretion of the attending doctor or clinician.

Compounds Preparation

Generic Synthesis Schemes

The compounds of this invention may be made by a variety of methods, including well-known standard synthetic methods. Illustrative general synthetic methods are set out below and then specific compounds of the invention are prepared in the working examples. The skilled artisan will appreciate that if a substituent described herein is not compatible with the synthetic methods described herein, the substituent may be protected with a suitable protecting group that is stable to the reaction conditions. The protecting group may be removed at a suitable point in the reaction sequence to provide a desired intermediate or target compound. In all of the schemes described below, protecting groups for sensitive or reactive groups are employed where necessary in accordance with general principles of synthetic chemistry. Protecting groups are manipulated according to standard methods of organic synthesis (T. W. Green and P. G. M. Wuts, (1991) Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, incorporated by reference with regard to protecting groups). These groups are removed at a convenient stage of the compound synthesis using methods that are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The selection of processes as well as the reaction conditions and order of their execution shall be consistent with the preparation of compounds of the present invention.

The synthesis of the compounds of the general Formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives and salts thereof may be accomplished as outlined below in Schemes 1-10 by those skilled in the art. In the following description, the groups are as defined above for compounds of Formula (I) unless otherwise indicated. Starting materials are commercially available or are made from commercially available starting materials using methods known to those skilled in the art.

Compounds of Formula (I) may be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 1. Intermediate A can be obtained by rearrangement reaction of 5-bromo-1-indanone with NaN₃ in MeSO₃H in solvents such as CH₂Cl₂. Alkylation of intermediate A with an appropriate alkyl halide such as ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of a suitable base such as NaH gives intermediate B. Intermediate A′ can also be similarly alkylated and progressed similar to that of intermediate A. Intermediate B can then be subjected to amination under Buchwald conditions using an appropriate amine in the presence of reagents such as palladium acetate, ligand such as X-Phos and a base such as cesium carbonate in toluene at 120° C. Intermediate C thus obtained can then be coupled to the appropriately substituted acid chloride to afford D. Desilylation of intermediate D under standard acidic conditions leads to E which is then subjected to ring closure by heating the reaction mixture in acetonitrile at 80° C. in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to give F. Substitution of the chloro residue in intermediate F with an amino group by treatment with ammonia at room temperature results in compounds of Formula (I) (1a). Hydrolysis of the ester group in compound 1a with base such as LiOH provides another compound of Formula (I) (1b).

Compounds of Formula (I) may be also prepared as illustrated in Scheme 2. Intermediate H can be obtained by the amination of an appropriate bromo substituted heterocyclic compound G with a suitably protected amine under the standard Buchwald conditions. Bromide G is available either commercially or is synthesized according to standard methods of organic synthesis known to those skilled in the art with or without appropriate protecting groups. Amine intermediate H can then be converted to the tertiary amide I with an appropriately substituted acid chloride using triethylamine as a base. Desilylation of intermediate I followed by ring closure of the resulting alcohol J under heating conditions in acetonitrile affords intermediate K. Substitution of the chloro residue in intermediate K with an amino group by treatment with ammonia at room temperature results in compounds of Formula (I) (1c). If necessary, compound 1c can be subjected to a functional group deprotection reaction under standard conditions to remove the group that was introduced during the preparation of bromide G.

Compounds of Formula (I) may be also prepared as illustrated in Scheme 3. Commercially available 2-chloro-5-nitro benzoic acid L was treated with hydrazine hydrate in refluxing ethanol to give the indazolone M. Intermediate M was then doubly protected first with allyl group on the aniline nitrogen to give N and then with a benzyl group on the lactam nitrogen to afford O. Intermediate O was then reduced to the corresponding amine P under standard conditions. Aniline P was then alkylated with a suitable alkyl bromide to afford Q which was then converted to a tertiary amide R using an appropriately substituted acid chloride. Desilylation of intermediate R followed by ring closure of the resulting alcohol S under heating conditions in acetonitrile affords intermediate T. Substitution of the chloro residue in intermediate T with an amino group by treatment with ammonia at room temperature results in compounds of Formula (I) (1d). Deprotection of benzyl group on the lactam nitrogen of compound 1d with concomitant reduction of olefin in the allyl moiety provides another compound of Formula (I) (1e).

Compounds of Formula (I) may be also prepared as illustrated in Scheme 4. An appropriately substituted indole or a derivative thereof U, can be subjected to amination under Buchwald conditions using an appropriate amine in the presence of reagents such as palladium acetate, ligand such as X-Phos and a base such as cesium carbonate in toluene at 120° C. Intermediate V thus obtained can then be coupled to an appropriately substituted acid chloride to afford W. Desilylation of intermediate W under standard acidic conditions leads to X which is then subjected to ring closure by heating the reaction mixture in acetonitrile at 80° C. in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to give Y. Substitution of the chloro residue in intermediate Y with an amino group by treatment with ammonia at room temperature results in compounds of Formula (I) (1f).

Compounds of Formula (I) may be also prepared via intermediates U, AA & AB as illustrated in Scheme 5. A suitably substituted indole or a derivative thereof Z is alkylated or arylated using the appropriate alkyl bromide R₄—Br (or iodide R₄—I) or aryl/heteroaryl boronic acid R₄—B(OH)₂ respectively under standard conditions to afford the nitrogen-capped intermediate U. This can be converted to compounds of formula (I) 1g by using this intermediate U via Scheme 4. Similarly Z can also be arylated under copper catalysed conditions with copper (I) bromide and cupric acetate using an appropriately substituted aryl iodide to afford intermediate AA. This intermediate can again be transformed into compounds of formula (I) 1h via Scheme 4. Intermediate Z can be treated with 2-chloro substituted heterocycles under heating conditions in the presence of a mild base such as cesium carbonate. The intermediate AB thus obtained can be transformed into compounds of Formula (I) 1i via Scheme 4.

Compounds of Formula (I) may also be synthesized via intermediate AE whose synthesis is shown in Scheme 6. An appropriately substituted phenyl hydrazine AC is heated with a suitably α-substituted aldehyde in acetic acid at 120° C. to afford the 3-substituted indole AD. Intermediate AD then is coupled to an appropriately substituted aryl or heteroaryl iodide under copper catalysed conditions (similar to that described for the synthesis of intermediate AA) to afford intermediate AE. This can then be taken through synthetic sequence similar to that in Scheme 4 to afford compounds of Formula (I)

Compounds of Formula (I) may also be synthesized via intermediate AJ whose synthesis is described in Scheme 7. Commercially available 5-methoxy indole AF was substituted suitably with R₅ moiety using R₅-substituted boronic acid under palladium catalysed conditions to afford 2-substituted indole derivative AG. Intermediate AG in turn is alkylated (or arylated) under standard conditions using a suitable alkylating agent such as R₄-bromide (or the corresponding iodide) to afford AH. Demethylation of the methoxy group with boron tribromide and triflation of the resulting intermediate AI gives the appropriately substituted indole derivative AJ. This intermediate can then be taken through the various synthetic steps of Scheme 4 to produce compounds of Formula (I) 1k.

Compounds of Formula (I) may also be synthesized via intermediate AO whose synthesis is described in Scheme 8. Intermediate AM can be prepared by a cyanomethyl transfer reacton using an agent such as AL when treated with the substrate AK in the presence of a strong base such as potassium tert-butoxide. Nitro arene AM can then be subjected to a reduction using palladium on carbon and the resulting transient aniline condenses internally to cyclise to form indole AN thereby losing an equivalent of ammonia. Indole AN can then be suitably alkylated (or arylated) under standard conditions to afford AO. Fluoro indole AO can be taken through steps similar to those described in Scheme 7 for intermediate AH, followed by those in Scheme 4 eventually leading to the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I) 1l.

An alternative methodology is described in Scheme 9 towards the synthesis of compounds of Formula (I). p-Methoxy benzylamine is alkylated with TBS-protected bromoethanol in acetonitrile using a mild base such as potassium carbonate under heating conditions to afford secondary amine AQ. Intermediate AQ was converted to the tertiary amide AR upon treatment with an appropriately substituted acid chloride under standard conditions. Desilylation of AR under acidic conditions followed by ring closure of the resultant alcohol AS by heating in acetonitrile afforded PMB-substituted oxazepinone AT. Conversion of the chloro group in AT to an amine was effected by treatment with ammonia in dioxane to afford AU. Removal of the PMB group under TFA conditions in the presence of a scavenger anisole at 90° C. afforded the key intermediate AV. Oxazepinone AV was then coupled to appropriately substituted 5-chloro indole AX under copper catalysed conditions to afford compounds of Formula (I) 1m. Intermediate AX can itself be prepared by alkylation of 5-chloro indole AW with a suitable bromide (or iodide) under standard conditions.

Compounds of Formula (I) can also be synthesized via intermediates such as AW as described in Scheme 10. Various substituted indoles represented by AW can be synthesized starting from ethoxy vinyl boronate AZ which itself is prepared by treatment of pinacolate borane AY with ethoxyethyne in the presence of a zirconium catalyst at room temperature. Intermediate AZ is then treated with 2, 4-dichloro substituted aniline under palladium catalysed conditions using a suitable ligand and base such as potassium phosphate dibasic to afford aniline BA. Intermediate BA is then heated in acetic acid at 140° C. to give indole AW. Intermediate AW can then be carried over through appropriate synthetic steps described in Scheme 9 to finally afford compounds of Formula (I) 1n.
